Oh yes! reading machete a man indeed and that is what the motion library club,a club of reputable status intends to prove first of all in Jerusalem and the outside world. The club came into existence when the library was established in the school. As any august and successful institution has got rules, objectives and motto governing it, so does the library club. As our motto implies, "HOLD FAST TO WHAT IS GOOD," members of the library are urged and encouraged to hold on firmly to the very good things in life. Members are more or less compelled to read wide to improve their everyday
use of the Queen's language and to write mattured essays making use of very good expressions. That is just the academic aspect. Debates are held every week on all manner of issues to ease the tension on members and to get them currently informed about the things that are happening in recent times.
It also hopes to acquire computers in order to make information or data more accessible to students for their research purposes and finally acquire air conditioners in the library for the preservation of cassettes, equipments and gadgets to keep dust and humidity out and to allow windows to remain closed to prevent pilfering the windows.
Sometimes in a lifetime, obstacles and misfortunes are bound to happen , but the library club is not discouraged. It's always ready to face these challenges in order to achieve it's aims and objectives.
The major problem it's facing now is the source of sponsorship, in cash or kind. The club has been able to achieve some of it's main objectives to mention but a few. It has helped students to acquire the skills of librarianship and how to issue and receive books as well as take proper care of these books.
As great men normally say, "greatness is not achieved by not falling but by getting up when you fall."
